Would it be possible to implement a mobile version of grb for those of us who like to view/post from our phones?
I'm not sure of the process or the amount of work involved so if its too much trouble...no need to worry about it.

If phpbb adds it, I'll upgrade our version to use it.

I've been wondering about this for a long time. I can't imagine that phpBB hasn't given it a thought yet...
actually, a quick google search found
this. I don't know if that means that it's available or coming soon or what.

You can do mobile 1 of 2 ways, native apps which need to be created in some using each phones own environment or you can create .mobi or mobile versions of sites.
This is googles page that shows up automatically from a mobile phone
The first anyone could do. In theory, I could create an app that'd read and display posts from the DB, but I'd need access to where ever all this crap is stored and it's kinda hard. The second are completely dependent on who ever controls the servers to recognize it's a mobile phone and redirect you to a mobile version of the site.
